Cllr Cunningham wanted to know who informed mourning families what they could and could not have.

Jayne Robins, the council’s registration and bereavement manager, said it was “trying to change” its reliance on funeral directors and memorial masons for passing on information about what was and wasn’t allowed.

Ms Robins added: “We have decided to work closely with the registrars so if they are choosing a burial we are supporting them and giving them as much information as we can so they’re making informed decisions.”

A final report on cemeteries and memorials will be presented next month.
